James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! James just gets done explaining how faith without works is dead. In other words, if we have true faith it will be seen in and through our actions. James then goes on to say that even demons believe […]

Matthew 5:39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. When people read this Bible verse they can get a little confused. Is Jesus really telling us to be so meek that we are to turn the other cheek […]

Exodus 22:26-27 If you ever take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down.  For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I […]

Numbers 30:1-2 Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the people of Israel, saying, “This is what the Lord has commanded. If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that […]

John 1:29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! When it comes down to it, Jesus Christ has only ever taken one thing away from us humans. That just happens to be our sin that separates us from God. The […]

Deuteronomy 24:6 “Do not take a pair of grindstones or even the upper millstone as security for a debt, because that is like taking a life as security. The Lord really does love us and takes good care of us. And this is not just recently. Back during the Old Testament times it was customary […]

Romans 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. Because Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood, we no longer have the wrath of God on us. We are saved from spending eternity in Hell and experiencing the wrath of […]

1 John 4:8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. The greatest thing us humans have going for us is that God is a God of love. When we look at all the ways we can and do offend God (and often multiple times in a single day) […]
